The symbolic equations below occur in basic solution. (1) ClO⁻ + H₂O + 2 e⁻ → Cl⁻ + 2 OH⁻ (2) SO₃²⁻ + 2 OH⁻ → SO₄²⁻ + H₂O + 2 e⁻ Which overall equation results when the two equations are combined and simplified? a) ClO−+SO32−+H2O→Cl−+SO42−+H2O\mathrm{ClO^- + SO_3^{2-} + H_2O \to Cl^- + SO_4^{2-} + H_2O} b) ClO−+SO32−→Cl−+SO42−\mathrm{ClO^- + SO_3^{2-} \to Cl^- + SO_4^{2-}} c) ClO−+SO32−+2 OH−→Cl−+SO42−+2 OH−\mathrm{ClO^- + SO_3^{2-} + 2\,OH^- \to Cl^- + SO_4^{2-} + 2\,OH^-} d) Cl−+SO42−→ClO−+SO32−\mathrm{Cl^- + SO_4^{2-} \to ClO^- + SO_3^{2-}}
